Scaling Distributed Machine Learning with In-Network Aggregation
Marco Canini, KAUST: King Abdullah University of Science and Technology – Abstract: Training complex machine learning models in parallel is an increasingly important workload. We accelerate distributed parallel training by designing a communication primitive that uses a programmable switch dataplane to execute a key step…

Data processing methodologies in the area of E-Health for categorizing therapeutic responses in patients with migraine
, – Abstract: Migraine is a chronic disease that affects the daily development of activities of people around the world. To alleviate the symptoms, OnabotulinumtoxinA (BoNT-A) has solid proven evidence for their use according to various works and clinical trials. Nowadays, it is known that…
Reactive Boolean Networks
Daniel Figueiredo, Universidade de Aveiro – Abstract: In the context of biological regulatory networks, the connection between Piecewise-linear (PWL) models and Boolean networks is well-known, since Boolean networks can be seen as simplifications of PWL models. However, due to the abstraction of BN models, some…
Biomechanical Analyses of Human Movement Aimed at Improving Rehabilitation Outcomes
Richard Neptune, University of Texas at Austin – Abstract: The human neuromusculoskeletal system is exceedingly complex due to highly nonlinear multi-body dynamics and musculotendon actuators, and redundant muscle control that isn’t well understood. As a result, gaining insight into normal and pathological movement remains a…
Comprehending Energy Behaviors of Java I/O APIs
Gustavo Pinto , Federal University of Pará, Brazil. – Abstract: APIs that implement I/O operations are the building blocks of many well-known, non-trivial software systems. These APIs are used for a great variety of programming tasks, from simple file management operations, to database communications and…
Seminar – Personhood Online: Identification-Free Identities and Digital Citizenship via Proof-of-Presence
Bryan Ford, EPFL – École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne – Abstract: Numerous fundamental weaknesses of our online ecosystem derive from its inability to distinguish securely between real people and fake identities. Social botnets, fake news, anonymous trolling, astroturfing, deep fakes, sock puppetry, online poll and…
‘Gielis Transformations in design and engineering’
Johan Gielis, University of Antwerp, Bio-Engineering Sciences – Abstract: Gielis Transformations in design and engineering Gielis’ Transformations (a.k.a. Superformula) are a generalization of the Pythagorean Theorem. It not only defines the circle, as Pythagoras does, but circles, polygons, starfish, shells, flowers, or superquadrics….; an infinite…
“Photovoltaic Optiverter – A Novel Hybrid MLPE Technology for Residential and Small Commercial Photovoltaic Applications“ by Dmitri Vinnikov
Dmitri Vinnikov, – Abstract: Abstract: In this presentation a novel approach to photovoltaic (PV) module level power electronics called OPTIVERTER (PVOPT) will be introduced and discussed. Functionally, it is a hybrid of PV power optimizer and PV microinverter with such key features as shade-tolerant (or…
Algorithm/Architecture Co-design for Smart Signals and Systems in Cognitive Cloud/Edge
Gwo Giun Chris Lee, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) – Abstract: Niklaus Emil Wirth introduced the innovative idea that Programming = Algorithm + Data Structure. Inspired by this, we advance the concept to the next level by stating that Design = Algorithm + Architecture. With…
